That old-time religion Just how old-time has yet to be determined. But archaeologists, with the help of prison labor, have uncovered what is believed to be the site of one of Christianity's earliest churches. (That's "church" as in a church building, rather than a house church, which is how the earliest Christians often met -- either in homes or in synagogues.) The site was discovered under one of Israel's top security jails in Mediggo, which the New Testament Book of Revelation claims will be the site of the great, final battle, aka Armageddon.
